When I was out on the walk, I was captured by a very tall crooked tree and the afternoon sun just sat the eye on it, outlining the structure of the tree very well. The tree was a little bent forward with its branches stretching side, crooked, but beautiful and graceful. I was thinking that [...]

When I think of the topic, I want to imagine if uncertainty were a man, what kind of face does he have? Pondered, stressed, wavering, all come in mind. On the contrary, the stability bears the face of focus, calm, and peace. If imagine, we are in face of “uncertainty” as a man, what shall [...]

My dear friend Bertha Taylor passed away, and I only learned it today when I was trying to send her a Christmas card and called the assistant living. Bertha passed away on October 30, 2006 at age 86, later I learned from her sister Gaylor, and was buried together with her husband and son in [...]

I recently had a conversation with my mother’s friend and somehow it touched upon her daughter’s thoughts on not so interested in marriage. The daughter is about 30 years old and remains single out of New York City. It reminds me of “Sex and the City,” the stories of four single women in New York [...]

Car after car, lined behind each other, tight and without any movement; red light, green light, all you can do is to inch forward. The clock was ticking, thirty minutes later, “I can get off here” I said to the driver. “It was a bit far from the location,” the driver was concerned. “It’s OK,” [...]

I recently encountered “extended family” conflicts and finally realized that there was a paradox of a solution. An intent to solve may mean a possible non-solvable result or a process that needs more than just time or patience. So a solution may end to be a non-solution and vice versa. The ultimate paradox.

I am working on a photo book of our trip to Oslo. Going through pictures of wild flower, forest, fjord and skies, I am once again reminded of Norway being a land of natural beauty. The statues and architectures are living pieces that breathe peace and tranquility among all things. More than the landscape alone, [...]

Came back from a three week vacation in Oslo. Aside from sightseeing, I observed some interesting cultural differences between Norway and the US especially for the immigrants. In Oslo, you can see immigrants dressed in their original country clothes (tall wrapped head piece and big earrings for Africans; head piece and robe for Pakistani) either [...]

Now with only one person working at the moment, and one actively seeking employment to make ends meet, one essential thing is to learn how to cut back. I start to cook, which is part of my hobby, part of necessity, and part of health. Think twice about cable and phone bills, clothes and other [...]
